Over 80 guests attended, including several members of the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce. Mid-Hudson Subaru, our main DOFL sponsor, brought along a highly coveted 2014 Subaru Forester. The Ice House provided complimentary hors d’oeuvre and live music. With temperatures above 70 degrees, we were able to enjoy the Ice House’s outdoor patio overlooking the mighty Hudson River. Cablevision Neighborhood News was on hand to capture the fun on film.
